The ECollect form that should be completed for your middle school student is the 2022-2023 Middle School Device Self-Certification Form. You will have to input your government ID information and mark that there is an unmet need. Also make sure you hit SUBMIT at the end.

Students will receive their new devices on March 20th.

Hamilton's Care Corner

Dear STEAM Family,

Happy Spring MSSA families! The SEL theme for this month is Self-Awareness/Self-Care. Self-awareness is the ability to identify and assess your thoughts, feelings, and values, as well as how they intersect with your behavior. Students who cultivate self-awareness should be able to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses with a balance of accuracy and positivity. To practice self-awareness, for example, a student could recognize their stress triggers while still appreciating their hardworking personality.

Spring Break Week March 13th-17th

Spend some time with your family doing one of the listed self-care activities this week. Self-care is vital! Resetting your mind and body allows you to refocus.

Sincerely,

Alyson Hamilton

Professional School Counselor
